Abstract

Consider the existence of rotationally symmetric solutions to the $L_p$-Minkowski problem for $p=-n-1$. Recently a sufficient condition was obtained for the existence via the variational method and a blow-up analysis in [16]. In this paper we use a topological degree method to prove the same existence and show the result holds under a similar complementary sufficient condition. Moreover, by this degree method, we obtain the existence result in a perturbation case.
